We’ve been looking for a perfect ramen spot all around Austin and this is the best one by far! The ambiance is warm and cozy. perfect for date night, solo eating, and a get together. The ramen was flavorful and very filling. The BEST eggs by far. Shout out to the server running this place like the US marines. 10/10 Wonderful experience.

As far as service goes…. It felt like we were inconveniencing the person who was working. She lets us know very rudely “I am by myself doing everything!” And when asked about a dish she made it seem like we were stupid for asking a question.
The food overall was just fine. But the service and the atmosphere were such a disappointment.
I hope they find someone to help that person out!

Food was well priced and good portion for buy one get one free, but I received my broccoli rotting in the core. I wouldn’t even eat this in my own kitchen, a restaurant should be double and triple checking these kinds of things…. I understand we came late, but if they treat late people like this, I dont want it.

What a sad day that I have to write this review. We used to love this place and went all the time! My husband and I were in town, and we were so excited to have it again.
Unfortunately, this place never recovered from COVID. It’s bleak and dirty inside with mold growing on the ceiling and empty chipped Ikea furniture and pegboard scattered around the place.
We still hoped that the food would be good, but alas, when the only employee in the entire store and kitchen served us, it was on dirty bowls and tasted store bought.
The real kicker is that my husband got extreme food poisoning from the karaage.
No more will we be visiting this location. I think they should honestly abandon this location and try to focus on the one down south. Hopefully that one is in a better state.
RIP Michi north, we’ll miss you.

We went around 945-10pm. A few people were there. It’s BYOB if you want.
The veggie broth had a pinch of spice. The noodles didn’t have a particular taste to me (they’re clear), but the broth brought all the flavor.
Michi had a flavorful broth and soft sliced pork belly. The broth was creamy.
They have free water you can drink. You can purchase cans of coke, tea and other drinks.
Great music (80s hits), dim lighting and a quiet atmosphere.

This was one of my favorite ramen spots when I lived here but I haven’t been here in like 3 years. I came to meet an old friend and we ended up sitting for hours. The staff member who took our order was so friendly and accommodating and even offered us an app since we had been sitting for so long.
I love the Sapporo bowls here. Tried the pork belly and that was really good. Wish I had Michi back home where I live now.

Good experience at Michi. The restaurant was going through renovations so I won’t comment much on the ambience. The ramen was good, definitely better than other places in Austin. The karaage was delicous, both chicken and squid. Seafood salad is done well and fries are average.

Amazing!!!! Truly great the flavor is there. Loved the jasmine milk tea it’s addicting! Also loved the sapporo ramen. The corn and butter perfect. Always get the extra mushrooms great add on. Service was good he was super nice and helpful.

This is the first ramen place I went to a decade ago and I don’t know if my memory has changed or things have just gone downhill but it’s a sorry state of things michi used to be the cheap alternative to Tatsu-Ya but they’re comparable in price, but without the same amenities. Bathroom looks dank, poorly lit, dusty, in general there’s a lack of care to cleanliness and presentation. Nothing to call the health inspector about but there is a general sort of run down feel (and not in a cool dive bar way, more in a gas station sort of way). An affordable unpretentious ramen place would be welcome but this is not it.

Would not recommend. Great service, kind host but the food isn’t great, atmosphere isn’t inviting.
Ramen – noodles are hard with no flavor, sauce is flavor less (there are options for light/reg/stout(heavy soup). I got regular and felt very light. Pork wasent as lean as most chasu, didn’t work well with the ramen.
Prefer Tatsuya and Marufuku for authentic quality ramen.
